THE JACKSONS

El solo es de Randy Jackson y coros de sus hermanos.

Just remember everything I tell you.
Sorry for the pain and I have caused you.
You know it’s true, I want to stay.
I know you tried to make it what it should have been.
You were there to help me when I couldn’t have been.
I don’t know what ever came over me.

Gimme that one more chance.
Remember all that we’ve planned.
Gimme that one more chance for me.

I just want to do half of what you do.
And I know it seems so strange of me to say this.
If there is a hundred ways to say it, all in one it means don’t go away.
Everybody’s goin’ around tellin’ you lies.
They don’t know how hard I’ve tried.
You know it takes the pressure for me to see.

Victory (The Jacksons album)

Victory (Album de The Jacksons)

Victory is the Grammy-nominated fourteenth album by The Jacksons, released in 1984 on Epic Records. It was the only album to include all six Jackson brothers together as an official group. The album sold over seven million copies worldwide

After a successful reunion on the Motown 25 television special in 1983, Jermaine Jackson decided to return to the group, having left Motown after nine years as a full-fledged soloist. His brothers had left Motown in 1975. The brothers rarely worked together on the album; it was mainly composed of solo songs the brothers had each worked on during that time. While each brother has at least one solo track, Jermaine only appears on “Torture”, a duet with Michael, performs ad-libs with Michael on “Wait” and is additionally named as a background vocalist on “One More Chance” and “The Hurt”.

The album cover art was commissioned from famed illustrator Michael Whelan. On the first release of the record there was a white dove on Randy’s shoulder (third from left). On later issues the bird was removed. Also, the name “Jacksons” looks like “Jackson 5″ since the 2nd “s” looks very much like the number five

The song “State of Shock” peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. The second single, “Torture”, reached #17, but “Body”, the third single, missed the Top 40, climbing only to #47. The album was still initially successful, it had debuted at #4 on the Billboard 200 in the week of August 4, 1984.

A remastered version was released in July 2009 in Japan only, with cardboard sleeve (mini LP) packaging. Part of a six-album The Jacksons Cardboard sleeve (mini LP) reissue series, featuring the albums “The Jacksons,” “Goin’ Places,” “Destiny,” “Triumph,” “The Jacksons Live,” and “Victory.”
